The white House.

From the west balcony o! the Capitol, looking
down Pennsylvania avenue, the White
House is seen rearing its snowy.hued walls
above the dense mass of foliage that en-
bowers II. like II gigantic Gala lily springing
up amid Its eniolding green blades. Were
II not for the partly Intervening Treasury
building the view Of the White House from
the Capitol would be full and complete. The
White House Is the center of "UptOwn,h as
the Capitol H. the center of Down town.
II Is beautifully located, the view from the
south windows covering the Whole southern
front of the city, as the view from the north
up Sixteenth street west exhibits the best
part of the Northwest section to the gaze.
The White House Is copy of the palace of
tile Duke of Lcinster at Dublin. with the
addition of large porch on the north front,
which was added during Andrew JdcksOn's
administration. Tie reservation In which
II stands embraces nearly 81 acres. The
main entrance is on the north, reached by
the Pennsylvania avenue cars. II Is two
stories high on the north, Is built of white
frees stone, 100 feet long ly Sc wide. II con-
Red, Blue and East rooms, the State Dining
Room and the great conscrvatorles. The
Blue Room is the Presidents official recep-
tion room and the drawing-room of the ladies'
OF his family. The East Room, originally
designed for n banquet hall and so used aS
late as 1887, and In the latter part of the
century used as n drying-rOom for clothes
by Mrs. President Adams, Is the largest and
most noted room In the building. II Is -
open TO visitors every day except sundays.
Upstairs are the Cabinet room, the private
offices. the Presidents office, the library

cut, Is certainly never combed;
it is long and matted and full
of vcrmin. 1t is impossible in
looking at them, to imagine that they
ever washed face, feet or body. They
are completely encased in thick and
hard crust of dirt. Their compilations
are very dark, or that IS the color of the
d rt covering them, their teeth alone are
clean and bright. and with their wild
eyes and famine. p.nched features, their
expression is savage and altogether
woliish II they are women they VIII
often lave two or three little half
naked children trotting after them, or
fastened to their backs. They are the
most mlserable-looklng creatures ever
siw wearing the human form. TO see
one such creature would be shocking
enough; but to see them by thousands
is q 81 sight indeed
Their haunts in the C ty Of Mexico nre
the canals and the markets and espec ally
the pulqvc shops there and in all towns.
They live on what civilized man
would revolt at as no better than oilal.
They sp nd their lives in drinking
